In this week's community feature, we speak to Phil (@thehollowhands), a Writer from Singapore. His clean EDC reflects his preference for a minimal, refined, gentleman style carry. What is his favorite EDC gear? Read on to find out!

Aside from writing, Phil loves to read, takes photos, and go on casual bike rides. He is also a self-proclaimed gear geek, being obsessed with knives, flashlights, and all things mechanical. When asked how he became a gear geek, he says that he likes to be prepared, carrying essential items that are functional. He believes in minimalism - carrying as little as he can, and maximizing the utility of each item he carries.

Favorite EDC Tool:

Phil's favorite EDC gear is his Great Eastern Cutlery knife. He says that it's simply a gorgeous piece that has a thousand uses. He also uses it as a worry-stone. Phil ended the interview with a reminder that a good knife is worth its weight in gold. We couldn't agree with you more, Phil!
